PATENT OFFICE.

TRESTED, AND LEWIS HURST, OF THE SAME PLACE.

CLOTH ES-SPRINKLER.

To all whom it may com-em:

Be it known that I', J oHN L. KENDALL, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented anew and Improved Clothes-Sprinkler; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

The drawing represents a vertical central section of this invention.

This invention consists in a conical vessel provided with a handle and with a neck, to which a nipple provided with one or more holes, and made of india-rubber or other suitable material, can he attached in such a manner that when said vessel is filled with water and the nipple is adjusted in position the operation ot sprinkling clothes can be effected without wetting the fingers or without spilling any A water over the table on which the clothes are placed, and, furthermore, the sprinkling is affected more evenly and with less trouble than it can be done in the ordinary manner.

A represents a conical vessel made of tinned sheet-iron or any other suitable material, and provided with the handle B, which may be of wood or any other suitable material, and attached to the body ot'said vessel in any desirable manner, either permanently or removably.

The neckC of the vessel A is so formed that a nipple, D, of indiarubber or other suitable material, can be readily secured to it, and this nippleis provided with one or more small holes. a, through which the water discharges it' the vessel A is turned upside down.

By these means the operation of sprinkling clothes can be effected in an easy and simple manner without wetting the fingers or the table, and the Water is divided uniformly and evenly over the clothes.

My sprinkler is cheap an d durable in its construction. It requires no skill in handling, and it is of great convenience for persons engaged in washing or ironing clothes of any description.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patl ent- A clothes-sprinkler composed of a conical vessel, A, handle B, neck C, and nipple D, as a new article of manufacture.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 25th day ot' November, 1865.
